I'd just buy another Dreamcast and install it if I were you. One Dreamcast for physical and the other as a backup if the drive goes out. Both Dreamcast drives and the games themselves are known to stop working at some point just remember that

Man I wish but honestly there's not much demand for it. The GDEMU is superior in every way besides playing original copies. I do love breaking out my imported games though. Japanese Dreamcast jewel cases are the best ever made and the art is always better than American versions

[Anonymous No.6628610]

>besides playing original copies
I was going to state that since JUST putting a disc in and playing can't be topped versus needing to mod your console. I mean fuck there is so much about getting old consoles to look good on modern tv's you'd think that there would be demand for new crt's. In before they are too difficult/expensive to make, fuckers need to MacGyver shit.

I fucking wish someone would make new crts. I'd pay premium for one. Every crt I've picked up so far has had issues with warping around the corners of the screen but even so it still looks better than hooking up to a modern display. I'm not even sure if it's legal to make new crts because pollution

Not that I ever saw and I play a lot of fighters too. The thing accepts VGA too. The OSSC isn't really an upscaler. I don't know enough to really get into the nitty gritty of what it all means but for my take everything I've tossed at it works like it should. So that's my review. It works like it's supposed to.

The arcade games that you can play and practice with save states on the PC. Ikaruga on the DC is terrible if you want to practice, GC version is better and Dolphin runs great.

Don't think BVM are issue free, you might be lucky to find someone in the country or state that is able to fix the issues if they're just electronic and not with the tube.

>GC version is better
No it's not, DC has much nicer graphics when using the VGA cable, also better sound.

Also if you're going to play on PC, might as well use a DC emulator. The Shitcube has no games.

Additional heat that may or may not cause issues down the line but nothing dramatic. However it's better to be safe than sorry so you should absolutely replace the power supply if you want the Dreamcast to outlive you.

You don't need to replace the stock power supply with a shitty solution that is objectively worse. If you are installing a gdemu you remove one of the 5v regulators on the psu to remove exessive heat. If you MUST replace the entire thing, you get one of those pico psu solutions and a GOOD QUALITY desktop ac adapter. Everything else is shit and causes interference in video output.

you can't complain that emulation isn't the same as original hardware, then also complain when i run the game exactly as on original hardware
make up your mind
and it's not random, slowdown is directly correlated with how much stuff is on screen, after playing it for so long, you get used to what and where things slow down, in fact, i think i would notice the game running too fast when it normally slows down if i suddently played it with no slowdown now

I never complained about that, emulation is indeed isn't the same as original hardware because it's so much better.

[Anonymous No.6633284]

>>6633276
alright, i see what you're getting at, why limit yourself to the original hardware when you don't need to
fair enough, in some cases i do, like i might render n64 games in higher resolution, or use pgxp to reduce vertex jitter and fix texture perspective in psx games
i'm not against emulation-provided enhancements if it doesn't get in the way of the intended experience
i just haven't messed with overclocking, i'm not against the idea in principal, i just haven't given it much thought
